Note to Prospective Clients: The rules governing lawyer conduct requires us to have a written fee agreement before we can legally represent you on a contingent fee basis – meaning all or a portion of our fee is paid or due to us contingent upon certain circumstances that are controlled by a contract. We take the approach that we will execute a written legal services agreement with any client regardless of the fee structure. Therefore, until and unless we have a signed legal services agreement, we cannot, and do not, represent you.
